Brandon Roy was on Seattle radio station KJR AM 950 Friday afternoon where he was asked about how negotiations are proceeding with his contract extension, his involvement in the recruitment of free agents this summer and his preparation for the coming season.

You can listen to the entire interview on KJR's web site, but here are some of the choice quotes from the interview with KJR's Softy Mahler:

What can you tell us about what's going on right now (with your contract negotiations)? You're about to make some serious money. So, what does it feel like for a kid from Seattle and what's going through your mind in this process?

For me, it's all in perspective. You know, I sit back and think about all the hard work I put in to my dream, which is trying to be one of the best players in the NBA. You know I can't really put it into words, you know. It is a lot of money, and I'm excited to be able to take care of my kids, and know that they will have a lot of resources that I didn't have. ...

You feel good that something will get done?

There's days where i feel like things will get done and then there are days that I feel like, you know ... hey, this may not happen. So, for me, it's 50/50 right now. You know, I would love for it to get done. Even when I was being recruited for college, I just wanted to get things done and start preparing. I'm hoping we can get things done and I can be involved in more things like free agency. Again, it's a business and I have to just trust my agent.

You talked about helping out with free agency and we all know what happened with Hedo Turkoglu, so how much of a role do you play in talking guys into being Blazers?

Right now, I'm not playing much of any role. It's kinda hard for me to go out and recruit Hedo Turkoglu for five years when I only got one left on my deal. ...
